History

Located on the north end of the city of Longmont, Sanborn Elementary was the only school opened during the 1980’s in the St. Vrain Valley School District. Students and visitors enjoy a dramatic view of Longs Peak and Twin Sisters mountains. Sanborn is known for its pleasing and aesthetic appearance and also for its warm and friendly atmosphere.

School Focus

Centered around writing and computation, instruction is focused to develop and assure that students:

  • Are proficient in reading, writing, speaking and listening
  • Are fluent in the use of numbers and number relationships to solve problems
  • Are knowledgeable and proficient in the use of technology
  • Exhibit the skills and attitudes necessary for appropriate social interaction

Sanborn Elementary School is a Positive Behavior Support school. Emphasis is placed on supporting appropriate behavior through positive reinforcement and intervention. Parents and staff credit this program with the incredibly positive atmosphere at Sanborn.

  • Mastering Math Facts, an innovative math supplemental program.
  • A literacy lab staffed by highly trained literacy specialists.
  • A community school that provides before- and after- school care and unique programs for students outside the school day.
